Artificial Intelligence: Logic Reasoning v. Statistical Reasoning - DATAVERSITY

Mitch De Felice recently wrote in CIO.com, "As a technology decision maker, all the vocabulary of artificial intelligence might be a bit overwhelming. In Figure 1 [to the left], starting from the bottom going up illustrates knowledge acquisition capabilities from a data usage perspective. By no means does this represent all the approaches to achieving an AI solution, but rather it illustrates how big data fits into the AI picture. Machine learning is represented by the right side of the above diagram, labeled, 'Statistical Reasoning.' There are two types of machine learning, unsupervised and supervised. When big data vendors speak of machine learning, they are usually speaking of supervised machine learning that has existed since the 1950s."
